keen first person shooter?

Hiya. I remember a long time ago that someone gave me a keen game. Well they said it was a keen game, a first person shooter keen game. I remember playing it - I was not able to get the shooter to work... I remember some water fountain in the level... some spider enemy... and some floating ghost or something enemy. The character had a yellowing helmet, so it looked like it might have been keen. But, I suspect it was not.

So, is there really a keen first person shooter, and if not what was this game??

edit: I really don't know if I should have posted this in this forum. But another question which might derail from the topic a bit - can keen even be a first person shooter? I tend to not like such games, but I could see it bringing in more money for developers, as first person shooters seem to be more popular?

Well there was a poorly done Duke Nukum 3D mod that had Keen graphics in place, it wouldn't be hard to make a better one I shouldn't think, which would be first person (Unless my ideas of what 1st and 3rd person means now. Can we have a 2nd person shooter anyone?) so it's possible.

But I do not know of the game in question, though there have been some 3D fangames if I recall.

StupidBunny and VikingBoyBilly both made Keen-in-Doom mods.

Could this be what you're looking for?

Good thing I uploaded it those years ago.

No, this was in the mid 1990s, like 1995 er so.

Damn...I've never heard anything about a Keen FPS/mod existing that long ago. I hope somebody else knows something about this...

I'd imagine a second person shooter would be awkwardly viewed from the perspective of each enemy your killing.

First person is from the player's eyes.
3rd person is generally from behind the player, so you can see your character.

It wasn't long ago that most of the biggest selling games were 2nd person...

I always imagined 2nd person shooters already looking like this

But one could just say that its "3rd person to the side".
